School tomorrow - excuses for Mum

Not tomorrow!One more day off please.I'm sick.I'm not ready.I haven't done my homework.

We don't do much the first week back.Miss won't mind if I miss one day.My uniform is dirty.I can't remember where school is.

I want to stay home with you.We should spend more quality time together.

I need a few more days to grow up.I won't know anyone – they'll all be older.The school fell down during the summer.The school has flooded.The school ran away.The school is still on holiday.

I can't go to school tomorrow…My foot hurts.My leg hurts.My arm hurts.My face hurts.My belly hurts.I have the runs.I have heat stroke.I have the plague!

I'll stay at home and clean and cook.I'll pay the bills,sort out the tax,handle the builders,get the shopping.I won't see my friends.I'll miss that topic about the Romans.I won't find out my results.I won't get to laugh in assembly,or joke with Mr Lindon.I won't play football.I won't make a circuit.Or get to quote Shakespeare…
